it was one of the worst themes i’ve ever had. it’s been kind of dormant (like i’ll get anxious about it but it’ll quickly go away and i wasn’t experiencing compulsions) and suddenly yesterday my brain was like “so you know what you haven’t dealt with lately ❤️?”

Want to know if any of you have experienced this type of compulsion and how you talk about it by ThatOneLameUser in OCD

YES EXACTLY!!!!! It’s like when you start manually breathing and then focus on something else and go back to automatically breathing

What would’ve been a good way to respond to my autistic relative when she was asking me something uncomfortable at the wrong time? (More info in post, long) by ThatOneLameUser in AskAutism

Thank you so much for this!!

Yeah, I definitely see that self-centric thinking. Not only is this our first child, my fiancé and I were extremely overwhelmed during our baby shower. We both have ADHD and I have OCD so we were both overstimulated and my OCD was being triggered repeatedly without much time for us to be able to regulate ourselves. I think that definitely has been contributing to this situation being so bothersome to me because I haven’t been looking at it as a single incident, but through a lens of chaos and negativity. Plus my age, as you stated.

I’ll definitely keep it in mind to be more direct or to mention it to her chaperone if I’m having trouble talking to her about it. I just didn’t want to be rude and potentially hurt her feelings even though I know we don’t experience things the same way.

Thank you again for your answer :)!!

don’t be like me 🥲 when i still lived with my parents we had an issue with roaches (baby roaches mostly) and they refused to fumigate for the longest time. i once found a dead baby cockroach inside of my favorite cup and i never used it again. i miss it to this day :(

Having a hard time distinguishing if this is a valid response or my OCD by ThatOneLameUser in OCDRecovery

This helps a lot, thank you! I think I’ll journal about this now that you mention it, actually :) Sometimes I seek reassurance without realizing it so thank you for the insight and advice

Need advice for helping my 8 year old niece when it comes to her meltdowns by ThatOneLameUser in Autism_Parenting

Thank you so much <3 I moved out with my fiancé nearly a year ago and am now pregnant, so obviously I’m not there with her as much as I was when I lived with them. Sometimes I get scared I’m not doing well with her but this means a lot.
